Novant Health pledges $6M toward affordable housing

The commitment helps
complete the $50 million private sector goal to match the City of
Charlotte’s $50 million housing bond referendum.

“When we set the goal of
$50 million from the private sector for affordable housing, we knew
we’d need strong partners who are committed to this community and
who lead by example,” said Michael Marsicano, president and CEO of
the Foundation For The Carolinas. “It’s fitting, then, that the
final organization to help us meet that goal is one that exemplifies
those attributes as strongly as does Novant Health.”

Carl Armato, president and
CEO for Novant Health, said it’s important to recognize that
well-being starts at home.

“We are diligently
pursuing strategies to tackle the challenges surrounding social
determinants of health in our communities, of which safe and
affordable housing is a key concern in the Charlotte area,” Armato
said.
